1. Define the geography before you interpret a number
Parkwood and Kitsap County are not interchangeable geographic labels. The Census record identifies Parkwood CDP and its county relationship, while a law firm may serve a wider area that includes other communities or the broader Washington market. A dashboard review should therefore distinguish the location attached to a tracked keyword, landing page, call, form or matter from the location where the prospective client is physically located. Do not treat a Parkwood count as a county count, and do not treat either as statewide performance. Ask which geographic fields are available, which are available by the firm, and which are only an interpretation of a source.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area definition to the consultation. Separate Parkwood targets from Kitsap County targets and any wider Washington targets. Decide which geographic comparisons would be useful and which would create false precision. The dashboard should be judged partly on whether its labels let your team understand that distinction.
